Mother Fights for Better Bereavement Laws

Lucy Herd, a mother who has recently lost her 23-month-old son, has founded Jack’s Rainbow Charity which, among other things, aims to change the bereavement laws in her state.

A short time after their child passed away, Lucy and her partner separated. She says that because of the limited time that she was granted to mourn for the loss of their child, the couple was not able to be there for each other in times of need. This has proven to be a great challenge for the both of them.
